Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 Specifications

The Harman Kardon Aura Studio 5 introduces a new projection lighting system that casts dynamic visual effects onto surrounding walls or ceilings. It includes five ambient themes: Snowy Fireplace, Sunrise, Blossom, Aurora, and Ocean, that can be customized through the Harman Kardon One app, which also allows users to adjust the brightness of the lighting.

Harman Kardon has equipped the speaker with a three-way audio system. It includes six 40mm midrange drivers, one 25mm tweeter, and a 143mm subwoofer. The total RMS output reaches 160W, divided into 20W x 2 for the midrange, 20W for the tweeter, and 100W for the bass unit.

The speaker supports a frequency response range of 45Hz to 20kHz and delivers an 80dB(A) signal-to-noise ratio. Harman Kardon’s proprietary sound field technology ensures consistent audio performance throughout the room.

The new model supports Bluetooth 5.4 and includes support for A2DP 1.4 and AVRCP 1.6.2 profiles. It allows users to connect two devices simultaneously and switch between them with ease.

The speaker also supports Auracast stereo pairing, which enables users to wirelessly link two Aura Studio 5 units for true left-right stereo playback.

The design includes a recessed waistline with touch-sensitive controls arranged in a ring layout. The speaker measures 306.4 x 234 x 234 mm and weighs 4.2 kilograms. Harman Kardon has used recycled materials in the build and FSC-certified packaging with soy-based ink to reduce environmental impact.
